With summer and the summer holidays nearly upon us, why not treat your kids (and yourself) to these healthy and colourful traffic light slushies?

Ingredients

For strawberry red

2 Tea4Kidz strawberry flavoured Rooibos teabags

½ cup strawberry juice

2 cups of strawberries, frozen

1 tablespoon honey

¼ cup strawberry yogurt

For mango or peach orange

2 Tea4Kidz peach and apricot flavoured Rooibos teabags

½ cup orange juice

2 cups of assorted yellow fruits, frozen (mango, peach, pineapple, banana)

1 tablespoon honey

For apple green

2 Tea4Kidz apple and berry flavoured Rooibos teabags

½ cup apple juice

2 cups assorted green fruits, frozen (honeydew melon, green apples, cucumber)

2 cups of spinach leaves

Method

Make up each colour individually.

Heat the juice in the microwave. Make a very strong tea by steeping the two teabags in the hot juice. Remove teabags and allow tea to cool completely.

Place frozen fruit, honey, and tea in a blender or food processor.

Blend thoroughly, adding extra water if needed.

Add the slushies layer by layer to create a traffic light.

Serve immediately.
